Trapped...
The reality: a man cowers at the bottom of a dark, musty well. His clothes are soiled by years of shame and guilt. His shoulders are slumped forward, no longer supported by a sense of pride, and in his eyes dance shadows of foreign, inadequate gods. His chin is collapsed onto his chest as he retreats inward, hoping to find a sense of comfort or purpose.
The man gazes around him, but finds his surroundings the same as every day before. His tongue is desiccated with thirst, but there is no water here. At times, he hears faint whispers of promise and hope from above, but they turn to betrayal and mockery the moment his ears have taken note of them.
The man’s thoughts turn to the world above, where a small gleam of light is the only thing that breaks up the darkness in his world. Squinting at it, he wonders if anyone knows he is down here, trapped in this repulsive place. He wonders if anyone will come looking for him. As the silence closes in, the man sees no options except to draw up his knees and wait…
Welcome to the Evangelistic Training Center. You are here because someone shared Jesus Christ with you and now you want to help others do the same. The man trapped in the well is one of over 3 billion people who have never heard the name of Jesus. In Mark 16:15, Jesus tells His people to “go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” That is the purpose of the Evangelistic Training Center. Find out the fate of the man -- enter the well.
